I recently needed some top quality cleaning products for tile floors. I was advised to go to a particular janitorial supply house. I was impressed by how knowledgeable the salesperson was, how effective the products were and by the prices too. I didn't have to deal with the problem you described but I'd try a janitorial supply house or a wholesale tile supplier, in that order.

I've seen "Tile Haze Remover" sold for exactly that purpose. Never tried it, though.

If it really is grout sealer, then you should be able to use a solvent to get it off. Be sure to have good ventilation, and try some lacquer thinner.
